Have you tried having your thyroid checked? I was much the same as you, dieting to stay the same weight and then gain 3lbs if I took a few days off. Got my blood tested and I have an underactive thyroid, have now started on meds to try and balance out the issue. Might not be the case but I would keep it in mind if this…

slimming world is brill if you love your food - like me! I lost a lot of weight doing it a few years back and it didn't seem too much of a struggle. Unfortunately no suitable classes in my area any more but would definately recommend it! All the best!

I have EA active sport (first version) and it is pretty good. There are areas of the game that could be improved but it gives a varied workout, at a level that suits you. Personally I prefer the games i have that use the balance board (I use wii fit and biggest loser), but the Active Sports game is worth a try is great to…

I know how you feel. I was attending a diet class, sticking to it rigidly and exercising every day and didn't lose a single pound for 6 weeks. I did however lose 12 inches off various places on my body, dropped a dress size, had loads of energy and felt fab - so stick with it, it will come! Make sure you use a tape measure…
